Have you listened to their stuff before Badmotorfinger? It's bad. Really bad. With the exception of "Big Dumb Sex," which is okay.

I just listened to clips from Ultramega OK and Louder Than Love, and a lot of it sounded all right. They even had a Grammy nomination for Ultramega OK. The first song on that one, "Flower", sounds pretty good, but I didn't care for much of the rest. Louder Than Love seems more consistent. Of the four big Seattle bands from that era (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden), Soundgarden was the one I was least into, and I still don't own anything from them except for what was on the Singles soundtrack. I might be inclined to get their greatest hits or some selected tracks someday.

After hearing Soul Coughing's "$300" on House last night, I listened to their album El Oso tonight. That is Spanish for "The Bear". Chux, aren't you the one that said bears make everything better?

Last night I also discovered that Shuttered Room, the first album by The Fixx, is now on iTunes. So, next time I purchase songs from there, I will get "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies at Night". I have their greatest hits, but it has live versions of those songs instead. Before adding this album, the only versions of those songs on iTunes were either live or re-recorded versions. I'm guessing this was due to the fact that Shuttered Room was on a different label.

Was that its title in quotes? Or are you saying Mr. Collins is only "quote-unquote" funk?

Heard two different Cake songs yesterday on the radio. When do you normally hear any Cake these days? (BTW, they were, of course, "The Distance" and "Never There" )

I hear them on the TV every week because "Short Skirt Long Jacket" is the theme to Chuck. I guess I haven't heard them on the radio in a while, but I don't listen to the radio enough to hear a station that might play them.
